Ottawa Memorial, War memorial at Confederation Square, Ottawa, Canada

The National War Memorial includes twenty-two bronze figures of military personnel passing through a tall granite arch topped with symbolic elements.

King George VI and Queen Elizabeth unveiled this memorial in 1939 to honor Canadian soldiers who died during the First World War.

The memorial incorporates the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at its base, representing all unidentified Canadian service members who perished in conflicts.

The memorial remains accessible throughout the year and hosts the national Remembrance Day ceremony every November 11 with large public gatherings.

Twenty-two bronze figures on the memorial showcase different military branches, each with individual facial features and precise uniform details.
